Reaction of an allylstannylene with adamantyl phosphaalkyne

摘要

The reaction of a terphenyl tin(II) compound bearing an eta(3) coordinating allyl ligand with adamantyl phosphaalkyne is reported. The quantitative stochiometric reaction towards one product involves an addition of one Sn-Ar bond across the C P triple bond and formation of a phosphadistannacyclobutene ring. This kinetically favoured product can be isolated in the solid state, however, in solution, it shows rearrangement towards a new tin-phosphorus molecule a period of five days.
